Mammoth remains were uncovered in thawed Siberian permafrost, and
scientists around the world have been trying to extract DNA from the
remains. Previously, paleobiologists were able to reproduce mammoth blood protein, and Japanese researchers want to resurrect the mammoth within five years.
This new project will move forward if the Russian institution, the
North-Eastern Federal University of the Sakha Republic, can ship its
mammoth remains to the Koreans.

But since mammoths used to roam the American Southwest, I think that if successfully recreated or hybridized, they should be released into the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. Lots of different habitats there, and I like the idea of them splashing through Médano Creek.
